Viewing Album:  A high and wide gets stuck in Cortland
 
By:Scott Crotwell
Dates:5/8/2017 - 5/8/2017
Album Info:This load was picked up in Syracuse from CSX, and delivered to Binghamton by NYSW. From there, NS delivered it to Athens, PA to be picked up by a shortline there. It took over 3 hours to get it across the bridge near by back yard. It was there when I got home from work.
